Pianist Junior Mance, a veteran of albums and dates with Dinah Washington and Cannonball Adderley, was offered his own recording date by Norman Granz during a session with Dizzy Gillespie. The result is this 1959 debut album, a bluesy and swinging date with Gillespies drummer Lex Humphries and bassist Ray Brown. Highlights include the original Jubilation and Cole Porters Love For Sale. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
